Planet Earth - The Complete Collection (DVD, 2007, 5-Disc Set)

This is the "must have" series for the "Wild Kingdom" enthusiasts of the new millenium! The team of producers and film crew outdid themselves in capturing the raw nature this series shows on the small screen. They also show behind-the-scenes efforts of the crews to capture some of the never-before-seen footage which we really appreciate. Even the kids loved watching it. In my opinion, this is one of the most well produced nature/animal series available today. Although this version of the series is what we purchased, if you have the opportunity to purchase the blue-ray hi-def version (we just don't have the blue-ray player yet), would highly recommend it because the footage was shot in in that format, and it brings out the beauty so much better. We originally saw it in the high-definition as it was shot via satellite this past winter on television and although the quality of these DVD's is still breathtaking, the high-def version that we saw on TV still tops it. Highly recommended!
